The Signal Service.

With the death OF General Hasen

iDeritorious services he had performed
for bis country. ii i as we'll, perhaps,
that during his lifetime the trsnsfer
was not made.
Now, however, with the removal OF
this last sentimental vestIge Of objec-
tion no delay should be made In effect
ing the transfer. The character OF the
signal service, the nature Of its func-
tions, the style OF work, the peculiar
east OF intellect required in transaciing
its business have nothing specially
pertaining to the military about them.
In addition to this, there 10 gross in-

 Said New Havener formerly of Hartford: eff there's anything that will make Hart ford man catch on to the thought that life is worth living" no matter even if he is one of the Hubbard & Farmer creditors, without collateral, it is to invite him to 8 sea shore dinner: in which, of course, boiled soft shell clans, or "long clans" for short, is the principal dish. They must be cooked just right, and served with drawn butter, and then no Hartforder so served but will feel satisfied with "all the world and the rest of mankind" Hartforders appreciate the dish, but they are thirty-six miles (by the Hartford division) from the sea shore; and there are not few New HaYeners who are "well fixed" in this worlds goods who aver stoutly that the best way to enjoy dinner of the kind in question is to eat good breakfast, then take clam hoe or shovel and basket, and go down the beach and dig peck or two of clans; and then have them cooked for dinner. These citizens were in poyhood's happy days as fond of going clamming as million aires are nowadays of going to Europe, and the old habit loses not it's force now that they have become taxpayers and frequenters of town meetings. They still relish the exer- else and the invigorating salt air, and know of no other dish they relish better than this one under discussion.
